Patient's question:
In the morning, the baby came down to play barefoot and stepped on her dad's earring, which basically went all the way through. Fortunately, I squeezed out some blood for him. Now his heel is a bit swollen and he's hesitant to put much pressure on it. Will it hurt the bone or something?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it should be the earring that pierced the baby's foot, causing the recurrence of local soft tissue damage. Swelling is normal and there is no need to worry. It is recommended that you carefully observe the wound and pay attention to keeping the wound clean. Avoid getting it wet recently. You can buy some povidone-iodine to disinfect the wound yourself. The above advice is for the question "Will the baby be injured if they step on an earring and it pierces them," and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
